Hello everybody, I am trying to fit a gaussian mixture model to a set of predictor variables. I'm not using the built-in functions of matlab. I have six predictor variables to one response value. Each predictor variable is described by 100 observations I want to determine the number of Guassians (clusters) to fit the model. My script uses first an initialization using K-means and then the EM algorithm to calculate the model parameters ( means, covariance and mixing proportions).
How can I calculate the AIC to determine the numbers of Gaussians that bettwer fit my model?

Hello Joaquim,
Did you calculate the AIC for your problem. I also have similar problem to yours. If you have the solution could you please provide it.
Thank you
Sujit

This computes the AIC and the AICc using the following defined inputs.
% RSS: Vector; residual sum of squares between your data and the fit for each model
% N: number of data points
% Np: number of model parameters (must be same size as RSS)
AIC=N*(log(RSS/N)+1)+2*(Np+1);
AICc=AIC+2*(Np+1).*(Np+2)./(N-Np-2);
